1. Preheat the oven to 200°C, 400°F, Gas Mark 6.
2. Arrange the fennel and garlic on a baking sheet lined with greaseproof paper and drizzle over 1-2 tbsps olive oil and 2-3 tbsps water. Season and bake in the preheated oven for 40 minutes, turning occasionally.
3. Place the carrots on a baking tray, drizzle over a tbsp of olive oil, season and place in the oven for 30 minutes until golden but still slightly firm. Allow to cool slightly.

5. Blend until thoroughly mixed but still textured. Transfer to a bowl until required.
6. Brush the monkfish fillets with a little oil and season.
7. Place in a hot frying pan and cook on both sides until golden and sealed. Transfer to the oven and continue to cook for 5-6 minutes until cooked through.
